Puffer fish sashimi
When it comes to pufferfish, many people are reluctant to accept this food, and many people dare not eat puffer fish for fear of poisoning, just because of the old proverb that "although the puffer fish is delicious, they are afraid of losing their lives", resulting in a great lack of taste.
An unverified proverb ridicule, like a spell, makes people fall into fear, trembling to come up with a low-level, stupid judgment, and it is really a misunderstanding to stay away from the pufferfish from then on. However, in the face of such people, even if we clarify the facts and shout out: puffer fish is the only delicacy that can always be eaten in winter, and the delicious puffer fish cuisine will not be accompanied by the slightest danger!
How many of them would easily believe it? It seems that once controlled by preconceptions, it is not easy to get rid of it.
Blowfish are not a "warning"
Unfortunately, pufferfish are something that does carry a toxin that is deadly enough.
If we say that "although the puffer fish is delicious, you are afraid of losing your life" is made up to warn those who are still greedy for delicious food and intend to take risks at a time when someone has been poisoned by eating puffer fish and may be life-threatening, so as to prevent accidents from continuing to occur. However, this assumption is now completely non-existent, and the safety of puffer fish dishes has been guaranteed, and dangers such as food poisoning have long been ruled out. In such a situation, the mention of such an ancient proverb, far from having no warning value, has become a prank that adds to the public's fear, and has become a nonsense that hinders people from enjoying puffer fish food.
It is impossible to verify who and when this satirical proverb was born.
However, it is an indisputable fact that countless people have completely become its faithful believers and spiritual prisoners, and it has made it impossible for today's actual security statistics to be trusted by everyone. This phenomenon not only makes us feel saccharine and angry, but even many gourmets feel that the ignorance and pedantry of those who spread such remarks are ashamed! Every flight means an adventure – everyone admits. If we come to the strange conclusion that "unless one hundred thousand are in a hurry, the aircraft cannot be multiplied" is obviously biased.

Japanese puffer fish cuisine
If you want to eat a good puffer fish dish, you must go to Japan, a puffer fish that is famous for its natural toxins, as long as the cooking method is not dangerous, it can be feasted.
In Japan, puffer fish meat can be transported by plane or other means in Shimonoseki, and there are also fugu restaurants in Shimonoseki that go directly to Tokyo to open branches. I hope that those who have not tasted puffer fish meat in their lives must seize the opportunity, do not leave food defects, and after eating a lot, taste its charm and re-examine their own food concepts.
The cooking rules of puffer fish cooking are actually not complicated. In the case of live fish, for example, its main job can be summed up simply as: let the blood in the flesh and bones of the puffer fish flow out without leaving a drop. However, we must not take it lightly, thinking that it is not enough, with a moment of courage and sloppiness. The safest thing to do is to first ask professional chefs from Shimonoseki, Maguan, Beppu and other puffer fish production areas to deal with it, and consumers can eat the puffer fish they have prepared.
Japan has more than 100,000 people eating puffer fish every day, and the restaurants and specialty stores with so many puffer fish consumers have not had a single case of poisoning, which is definitely a source of pride for the Japanese. Through these facts, it should be possible to change the misconception that puffer fish are resolutely untouchable, and gradually dispel the fear of puffer fish that hangs in people's hearts.
However, it is more dangerous to process dead puffer fish, which must be noted. In addition, it should not be left to non-professionals to deal with. Remember the fact that almost all accidents that kill puffer fish are due to the ignorance of lay chefs. Puffer fish is a delicacy worth trying, and don't miss puffer fish cuisine because of traditional ideas.
